Thomas Wissell
In this town, Dec 2nd, Thomas Wissell, aged 25 years, 9 months, 8 days.
He was an original member of Co I 1st Vt. Cav., and had re-enlisted. By a diary that was found, which he had left, it appears he went on duty weeks after ill health should have excused him. But naturally ambitious and resolute he labored until a few weeks ago, when he came home, feeble, emaciated and sick, yet not less devoted to his country, but content that he had done his duty, and cheerful even unto death.
" O true heart, the brave and the noble!
That hast given what'er thou could'st give;
Thou arest one among numberless thousands,
Who have died that the nation may live".
